Re: 3ds Max tool for expediting model export to Valve Source Engine
A bunch of new updates in last couple weeks. This week updates: Version 1.879 released on 12-5-2012* VMF: Fixed error when exporting a scene with a Sunlight object. * VMT: Updated $phong export logic. Now the Phong export will happen even if there is no Specular Color map but the specular color slot is enabled. In that… -
Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
Having attended a course for Game Design & Development, I must say that the teachers mostly know basics only. At the course I attended, the focus was pretty wide (spanning actual game design, programming and 2d/3d production), it is only logical that the material was not very thorough. It did however offer a good insight… -
Re: DJ Hero? FAIL FAIL *RANT* :E
What never seems to be brought up in any dj argument I've ever heard, and indeed I didn't know till a dj friend of mine showed me, is just how much sonic control a good dj really has. The turntables aren't JUST on and off, they are variable speed. Speed control = pitch control. In addition the mixer in the middle isn't… -
Re: 3d Worn Down Glass Floor Material Needed
Hi Talbot, when I'm talking to my students over at the 3d school where I'm teaching where they should start on their new environment, I always say the same thing: Reference. I'm glad you have now done it, but gathering reference is the first thing anyone should do (besides thinking about what they want to do first, of… -
Re: 60 Minutes poopoo'd on Career Colleges, Art Inst?
There are lots of different factors here. I actually made a career change once I figured out that you could actually make a living doing art. I already had a BA in International Relations of all things, and wanted to do 3d after always doing 2d art as a hobby. This was in 98, and all of the software was very expensive,… -
Re: TES: Oblivion
Gonna copy this in from another forum: [ QUOTE ] After some more thought and testing of the leveling system, I'm come to the conclusion that it does indeed suck. It had potential, and the good intentions that went into its design are obvious, but Bethesda simply missed the mark in terms of user friendlines and balance. The… -
[WIP] Garden Fork
Hi! Its my first time posting here so sorry for any format issues. Anyways, to the point of the post. Just a quick background, I studied Games Design at University for 3 years and one of my classes was 3D. I have been using 3DS Max for 3 years and although I have made some models and environments I am happy with, I feel… -
Re: [Blender 2.8] Bevel shader normal map baking artifacts on flat surfaces
You're correct. Settings from the render panel are used when baking. Sample quality values will be the same but that doesn't necessarily guarantee identical results. I'm not a developer so I don't know what's going on under the hood or if there's any limitations on how baking is handled. What I do know is that there's a… -
Re: Degree's and Internships
Another thing to keep in mind is that Chemistry isn't that great of a back up to begin with unless you want to go a few steps further and apply to a pharmacy program (which will also require a lot of schooling after a 4 year degree, plus licensing exams). Most of the people who major in Chemistry just use it to go down a… -
Re: Question for you guys
[ QUOTE ] Yeah I don't see how a company can say that they own 3d that you make at home. So on that same lines everyone that is an industry pro here that has won contests like Dom War and all the others your art belongs to your prospective employers? That's bogus and totally not enforceable and I'm pretty sure if you were…
